hello


im about to head too sterling and then raleigh for the pony nationals. im trying too prepare myself for the heat. what im looking for is wrap that goes around the neck too help keep you cool. i notice alot of major league umpires wearing them , i have checked with +pos, honigs and a bunch of others and i cant seem too find them anywhere. hope someone here has used them or at least know of where they can be purchased.

thanks

tim

WalMart and Academy carries them in this area of Texas.

here is a website tht slls them <a href=http://kold-care.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=W&Category_Code =KVAKKW>Kold Kollar</a> or you can just do a google search on kold kollar to find a whole bunch of other places.

since you are going to raleigh, nc. Try a place call Hagemeyer N.A. That use to be the Cameron & Barkley company I use to work for. They should have some. We kept it for our contractors that work in the electrical and industrial business. Maybe some of the sports stores, The sport authority, dicks sporting goods, wal-mart to name a few. Good Luck!

What I have found that works even better is to get some spirits of ammonia, which can be purchased at almost any drug store, pour a capful into one of those really small lunchbox style ice chests, fill it about half full with water, then drop a couple of hand towels in there and fill the rest of the way with ice. Carry this onto the field, and use the towels to cool off between innings.

Skahtboi,

Thanks for mentioning that. A guy I used to umpire with did that and it really helped. Getting ready to do 10-U Nationals in Tulsa starting the first week of August. Looks like it's going to be a scorcher!!

Tim,

I've used the spirits of ammonia and it does work very well. I'd like to give the Kold Kollar a try but they are hard to locate. I've checked Sports Authority, Modell's, and TD Sports.

I'll be at the PONY Nationals in Sterling, VA from 7/18 through 7/23, and after my games on the 23rd I'll head to Raleigh, NC for the 18U PONY Nationals. I'm scheduled for the College Showcase games starting at 8:00 AM on 7/24. It's going to be a whirlwind couple of weeks.

Okay guys I found some. You guys might have to call my friend at his work to get some. They have comes around the U.S. Remember he works for Hagemeyer N.A. His name is David Josey 706-739-9918, He only has a demin or blue banddana color. He can get more. He can also locate some next to you. Just give him a call. Remember to tell him that I sent you.

okay guys I just talk to David and the have some around at other location. They have some in Dallas for those guys down there.

He is looking forward to your calls.

Remember

Steve,

At least you seem to be on the right track.

I will even go so far as to welcome you to the
board.

Hope I don't regret it. :D

On this board, I think you have to delete your account and start over. Or maybe a request to the board admin - perhaps he can do it for you.

The only person to can change names is the admin of the site not the moderator. BTW who is the admin of this site..

Glad to see someone else knows about spirit of ammonia. When I was in high school, our coach had a fire extinguisher filled with cracked ice, water and the spirits. She used to spray us down when we came off the field.
The small cooler with wash clothes is a great idea, too.

Try searching on google and put in

miracool it will bring up a whole lot of companys that sells the bandana cooling system you wanted.
